¹

And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and dwelt between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.

¹

И҆ по́йде ѿтꙋ́дꙋ а҆враа́мъ на зе́млю полꙋ́деннꙋю и҆ всели́сѧ междꙋ̀ ка́дисомъ и҆ междꙋ̀ сꙋ́ромъ: и҆ ѡ҆бита̀ въ гера́рѣхъ.

²

And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.

²

Рече́ же а҆враа́мъ ѡ҆ са́ррѣ женѣ̀ свое́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ сестра́ ми є҆́сть: оу҆боѧ́сѧ бо рещѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ жена́ ми є҆́сть, да не когда̀ оу҆бїю́тъ є҆го̀ мꙋ́жїе гра́дстїи є҆ѧ̀ ра́ди. Посла́ же а҆вїмеле́хъ ца́рь гера́рскїй и҆ взѧ̀ са́ррꙋ.

³

And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, thou diest for the woman, whom thou hast taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.

³

И҆ прїи́де бг҃ъ ко а҆вїмеле́хꙋ но́щїю во снѣ̀ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сѐ, ты̀ оу҆мира́еши жены̀ ра́ди сеѧ̀, ю҆́же поѧ́лъ є҆сѝ: сїѧ́ же є҆́сть сожи́телствꙋющаѧ мꙋ́жꙋ.

⁴

But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, wilt thou destroy an ignorantly sinning and just nation?

⁴

А҆вїмеле́хъ же не прикоснꙋ́сѧ є҆́й и҆ речѐ: гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆зы́къ невѣ́дꙋщїй и҆ првⷣнъ погꙋби́ши ли;

⁵

Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.

⁵

не са́мъ ли мѝ речѐ: сестра́ ми є҆́сть; и҆ сїѧ́ ми речѐ: бра́тъ мѝ є҆́сть; чи́стымъ се́рдцемъ и҆ въ пра́вдѣ рꙋ́къ сотвори́хъ сїѐ.

⁶

And God said to him in sleep, Yea, I knew that thou didst this with a pure heart, and I spared thee, so that thou shouldest not sin against me, therefore I suffered thee not to touch her.

⁶

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ во снѣ̀: и҆ а҆́зъ позна́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ чи́стымъ се́рдцемъ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ сїѐ, и҆ пощадѣ́хъ тѧ̀, да не согрѣши́ши ко мнѣ̀: сегѡ̀ ра́ди не попꙋсти́хъ тѝ коснꙋ́тисѧ є҆ѧ̀:

⁷

But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live; but if thou restore her not, know that thou shalt die and all thine.

⁷

нн҃ѣ же ѿда́ждь женꙋ̀ мꙋ́жꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ прⷪ҇ро́къ є҆́сть, и҆ помо́литсѧ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀, и҆ жи́въ бꙋ́деши: а҆́ще же не ѿда́си, вѣ́ждь, ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆́мреши ты̀ и҆ всѧ̑ твоѧ̑.

⁸

And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.

⁸

И҆ воста̀ ра́нѡ а҆вїмеле́хъ, и҆ призва̀ всѧ̑ ѻ҆́троки своѧ̑, и҆ глаго́ла словеса̀ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ во оу҆́шы и҆́хъ: оу҆боѧ́шасѧ же всѝ человѣ́цы ѕѣлѡ̀.

⁹

And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that thou hast done to us? Have we sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? Thou hast done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.

⁹

И҆ призва̀ а҆вїмеле́хъ а҆враа́ма и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: что̀ сїѐ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ на́мъ; є҆да̀ что̀ согрѣши́хомъ тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ наве́лъ є҆сѝ на мѧ̀ и҆ на ца́рство моѐ грѣ́хъ вели́къ; дѣ́ло, є҆́же никто́же сотворѝ, сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀.

¹⁰

And Abimelech said to Abraam, What hast thou seen in me that thou hast done this?

¹⁰

И҆ речѐ а҆вїмеле́хъ а҆враа́мꙋ: что̀ оу҆мы́сливъ, сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ сїѐ;

¹¹

And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.

¹¹

Рече́ же а҆враа́мъ: реко́хъ бо: не́гли нѣ́сть бл҃гочⷭ҇тїѧ на мѣ́стѣ се́мъ: и҆ оу҆бїю́тъ мѧ̀ жены̀ ра́ди моеѧ̀:

¹²

For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.

¹²

и҆́бо и҆́стиннѡ сестра́ ми є҆́сть по ѻ҆тцꙋ̀, а҆ не по ма́тери: бы́сть же мѝ въ женꙋ̀:

¹³

And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness thou shalt perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.

¹³

и҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ и҆зведе́ мѧ бг҃ъ ѿ до́мꙋ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀, и҆ рѣ́хъ є҆́й: пра́вдꙋ сїю̀ сотвори́ши мѝ: во всѧ́ко мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же а҆́ще прїи́демъ, та́мѡ рцы̀ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ бра́тъ мѝ є҆́сть.

¹⁴

And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maid-servants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.

¹⁴

Взѧ́ же а҆вїмеле́хъ ты́сѧщꙋ дїдра́хмъ (сребра̀), и҆ ѻ҆́вцы, и҆ телцы̀, и҆ рабы̑, и҆ рабы̑ни, и҆ дадѐ а҆враа́мꙋ: и҆ ѿдадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ са́ррꙋ женꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀.

¹⁵

And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before thee, dwell wheresoever it may please thee.

¹⁵

И҆ речѐ а҆вїмеле́хъ а҆враа́мꙋ: сѐ, землѧ̀ моѧ̀ пред̾ тобо́ю: и҆дѣ́же а҆́ще тебѣ̀ оу҆го́дно є҆́сть, всели́сѧ.

¹⁶

And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to thee for the price of thy countenance, and to all the women with thee, and speak the truth in all things.

¹⁶

Са́ррѣ же речѐ: сѐ, да́хъ ты́сѧщꙋ дїдра́хмъ бра́тꙋ твоемꙋ̀: сїѧ̑ бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ въ че́сть лица̀ твоегѡ̀, и҆ всѣ̑мъ, ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть съ тобо́ю, и҆ во все́мъ и҆́стинствꙋй.

¹⁷

And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.

¹⁷

Помоли́сѧ же а҆враа́мъ бг҃ꙋ, и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ бг҃ъ а҆вїмеле́ха и҆ женꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ рабы̑ни є҆гѡ̀, и҆ нача́ша ражда́ти:

¹⁸

Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.

¹⁸

ꙗ҆́кѡ заключа́ѧ заключѝ гдⷭ҇ь ѿ внѣꙋ́дꙋ всѧ̑ка ложесна̀ въ домꙋ̀ а҆вїмеле́ха, са́рры ра́ди жены̀ а҆враа́мли.
